QiC issue 4: The Scene
The scene is growing fast. There is a new board going up every day, and most of them are wanna be h/p boards, run by little 13 year old smart asses that think they are 'elite' ..
What is the total scene definition of 'elite'? I mean, there is always someone claiming/acting to be 'elite' out there with their /<-RÑ|) writing and shit. Who is elite? Who are the people that are the definition of elite and k-rad?
Then there are the anti-elite and anti-warez people. Whats up with that? Do they hafta be different? I bet if you looked on any of the anti-warez users hard drive, you will find a ware of some kind. What is the point of anti-warez? I am not a warez person myself, but im not an anti-warez person, either.
The scene is not underground anymore. How can it be with everyone knowing about it? There are the select few that DO have total underground boards that almost no one in the scene knows about, except for the 10-15 people that are on the board. Now those are the only underground boards left. H/P boards are nothing special - They are everywhere. Anywhere you look theres another ad for a "1 gig of H/P/A/C FileZ!" .. Whatever happened to the underground? THERE IS NO UNDERGROUND!
To those of you that think you are 'undergroundish' and 'k-rad', there is no such thing. We are one big family of hackers/phreakers out for more education in the H/P field. The warez people are out for the newest 0-Day shit so they can download it, and upload it to all of the other 10 gig warez boards and think they are cool. The scene is dead, and not by the means of not enough H/P and Warez boards - There are TOO many. Thats why.
The next time you call a H/P or Warez board, ask yourself: "Is this place really as underground and elite as it claims to be? or is it another wanna-be-in-the-scene-and-be-k-rad board?"
If you do not like what i have stated in this file, it is my opinion. This is the way I look at it. You have your right to an opinion, too. If you have your own opinion, get it out there. Thats what im doing. I want to hear what other people hafta say about the 'scene'. Dont make me your enemy because of what i say. Im just another phreaker that is sick of the shit that is goin on around the 'scene'.
Later,
